You can read Wikipedia:Changing username but also note that putting your real name might get you harassed, so it might be for the best. Easternsahara (talk) 23:59, 22 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Hello Fathoms Below, I am looking to understand what special care is to be taken when adding cititations that you pick up from a wikipedia page of a different language while you are trying to translate the article to english.

I am specifically referring to this article- Hisashi Abe, which I am trying to build with translated contents from https://ja.wikipedia.org/wiki/%E9%98%BF%E9%83%A8%E6%B0%B8 . I want to attribute the right citations while I am composing the English page.

Also please guide me with pointers to keep note of while translating such articles taking assistance of machine-translators.

Hi @Kumi-da. It's a bit late for me at the moment, and I don't like to leave mentee questions hanging, so I might be able to answer your question sometime tomorrow, but maybe in the meantime you can ask this same question at the teahouse? Some people there may be able to give you a faster response! Fathoms Below (talk) 03:41, 13 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Good --Thompson Ukeki (talk) 07:12, 24 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]

The first round of the 2025 WikiCup ended on 26 February. As a reminder, we are no longer disqualifying the lowest-scoring contestants; everyone who competed in round 1 will advance to round 2 unless they have withdrawn or been banned from Wikipedia. Instead, the contestants with the highest round-point totals now receive tournament points at the end of each round. Unlike the round points in the main WikiCup table, which are reset at the end of each round, tournament points are carried over between rounds and can only be earned if a competitor is among the top 16 round-point scorers. This table shows all competitors who have received tournament points so far.

Round 1 was very competitive compared with previous years; two contestants scored more than 1,000 round points, and the top 16 contestants all scored more than 500 round points. The following competitors scored more than 800 round points:

• Gog the Mild (submissions) with 1,168 round points, mainly from 4 featured articles and 4 good articles on old military history, in addition to an assortment of GA and FA reviews.
• Generalissima (submissions) with 1,095 round points, mainly from 2 FAs, 2 featured lists, 8 GAs, and 16 Did You Know articles mainly on historical topics.
• BeanieFan11 (submissions), with 866 round points from 20 GAs, 23 DYKs, and 2 In the News articles primarily about athletes.
• Sammi Brie (submissions), with 846 round points from 16 GAs about radio and TV stations, 45 GA reviews, and 3 DYKs.
• Hey man im josh (submissions), with 816 round points from 5 FLs about sports and Olympic topics, 46 FL reviews, 3 ITN articles, and a large number of bonus points.
• MaranoFan (submissions), with 815 round points primarily from 3 FAs and 1 GA about music, in addition to 9 article reviews.

The full scores for round 1 can be seen here. During this round, contestants have claimed 18 featured articles, 26 featured lists, 1 featured-topic article, 197 good articles, 38 good-topic articles and more than 100 Did You Know articles. In addition, competitors have worked on 23 In the News articles, and they have conducted nearly 550 reviews.

Remember that any content promoted after 26 February but before the start of Round 2 can be claimed in Round 2, which begins on 1 March. Invitations for collaborative writing efforts or any other discussion of potentially interesting work is always welcome on the WikiCup talk page. Remember, if two or more WikiCup competitors have done significant work on an article, all can claim points. If you are concerned that your nomination—whether it is at good article candidates, a featured process, or anywhere else—will not receive the necessary reviews, please list it on Wikipedia:WikiCup/Reviews Needed. If you want to help out with the WikiCup, feel free to review one of the nominations listed on Wikipedia:WikiCup/Reviews Needed. Questions are welcome on Wikipedia talk:WikiCup, and the judges are reachable on their talk pages. Good luck!

When creating a page, how do I add the drop down sections, like references, sources, history, see also, and more? --BeeMan1567 (talk) 21:10, 2 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Hi @BeeMan1567 and welcome to Wikipedia! You can add sections to a page by using equal signs "=" that enclose the section title you want to make. For example, you can add a References section by writing "=== References ===" followed by the text you wish to include. See Help:Section for more information. If you have any other questions, feel free to ask! Fathoms Below (talk) 22:53, 2 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Hi, when I signed up, I wanted to contribute translations into my language, but there was no such option, so I chose to edit. Is it possible to change my option from edit to do translations? --RavelGoodTranslation (talk) 19:35, 12 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Hi @RavelGoodTranslation What is your native language? I can help you find help for how to translate content onto the English Wikipedia, but I'm less certain how to translate into other languages. Fathoms Below (talk) 02:17, 13 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Hi. I made a draft about this flu season. Can you look at " United States 2024-2025 flu season"? I am new and I really need help with it because I got in a little bit of trouble earlier for copyrighting. --HomerLikesMarge7285 (talk) 19:41, 15 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Hi there @HomerLikesMarge7285. I looked at the draft you made, and the first fix that I suggest you make is try to integrate the URLs you put into your draft as inline citations. You might want to look at the page here which gives some help on how to insert inline citations. If there is anything you're confused about with inserting inline citations, you can ask here on my talk page. Fathoms Below (talk) 17:08, 17 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Hello, mentor! I would need some help. I tried to make a new article about group Katanija. How do I make it visible to the others, when they search for the name of the feoup on the wikipedia?

Thank you for your help. Marija --Mgstotl (talk) 22:53, 20 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Hi @Mgstotl. Since you're new to Wikipedia, you will have to submit the page through Articles for Creation (AFC), where one of our volunteers will check the page and determine if it is ready to be considered a Wikipedia article. However, Wikipedia needs a subject to be notable to be considered for inclusion in the main encyclopedia space. In other words, the topic needs to be covered by multiple reliable sources that discuss it in-depth. Since your page has no clear references, I suggest seeking out citations and including them in your page to help it be accepted at AFC. Also, do you have any affiliation with Katanija? If so, you should read the page linked here and disclose whether you have a connection. Do you have any questions? if so, you can ask here or at a help area called the teahouse, and we will try our best to answer. Fathoms Below (talk) 22:59, 20 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Hello, I have two inquiries. The first one is that I have greatly contributed to the article about the film If He Hollers, Let Him Go! and I was wondering what I should do to nominate it for a higher class than stub. I think I have found most of the relevant information and formatted it mostly correctly. The page said to ask your mentor about your first nomination and so I am here. The second question is how do I make the userboxes show properly? Thank you very much. Easternsahara (talk) 03:23, 27 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Hi @Easternsahara Since the page is a little under 500 words it should be enough to qualify for s Start-class. To make user boxes show properly, you can add them by transcluding one to your userpage by adding the text in brackets. For example, you can copy and paste the text "{{User Abandoned Building}}" to have the relevant user-box added to your page. A gallery of user boxes and the texts you can add to make them show up are located here. Does this help? Fathoms Below (talk) 03:53, 27 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Yes, it does help indeed, thank you. Easternsahara (talk) 21:47, 27 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Hi Sir, When will i get Change to Contribute my own articles --Kianrahonam-Writer (talk) 09:32, 9 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Hello @Kianrahonam-Writer:, I am not Fathoms Below but you can not make an article about yourself. This is because Wikipedia has a lot of rules, but it is still fun! Two very important rules apply you you here. One is called Wikipedia:Notability. What is notability? It is basically how many trustable sources cover the topic. For example, Jawaharlal Nehru is covered because he is very important, he did many things that have been covered by newspapers, documentaries, etc. That means you should send your stories and poems to newspapers first, because Wikipedia has another policy named Wikipedia:No original research. This means that if I discover that, for example, tamil nadu is not real and it is just water, I need to reach out to newspapers and scientific journals before Wikipedia covers my topic. Now, let us say that happened, many newspapers and scientific journals covered my new discovery, I can not make an article about it. Why? Because Wikipedia has another rule called Wikipedia:Conflict of interest. What this means? Well, it means that I am not allowed to write about things that I am connected directly to, because I would say that I am a very intelligent, handsome and charming man, even if that is true it is not neutral. Wikipedia wants to be neutral, so it does not allow people to write about themselves. It feels very bad when your article is deleted. You should read Wikipedia:Why was the page I created deleted? to help you.

Now, that sounds very sad. BUT YOU CAN STILL DO IMPORTANT THINGS FOR WIKIPEDIA. If you are not very good at English but still want to do work on Wikipedia, there is Wikipedia in Kannada language also. https://kn.wikipedia.org is a link to it. You can read and write page on it. If your English is good enough to work on English Wikipedia, you should join a WikiProject. A WikiProject is a group of editors on Wikipedia who want to work on things together. What WikiProject you should join? There are many, I suggest Wikipedia:WikiProject India and Wikipedia:WikiProject Poetry because you are Indian and like poetry. There are other WikiProject too, you can find them by yourself.

I have also noticed that you have put your personal information on your page, there are bad people on the internet so you may want to delete this.

Please do not hesitant to ask any questions, thank you! Easternsahara (talk) 23:53, 22 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Hello how can I add photographs --McTopCat (talk) 12:39, 20 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Hi @McTopCat. You can add photographs to a page by adding the term "[[File:IMAGE NAME HERE]]" to an article or other page on Wikipedia. Substitute IMAGE NAME HERE with the name of the file you wish to have as an image such as "Flag of the United States (DoS ECA Color Standard).svg" Please see Wikipedia:Images for further instructions. The page here is also pretty helpful to learn what to do or not to do with images. If you need any clarifications, please ask here! Fathoms Below (talk) 00:14, 21 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Hi Fathoms Below, I noticed that you did a mass revert of 2601:644:680:D3D0:ACDC:A196:B895:1E74's edits for block evasion. Just wanted to alert you that they appear to be back as User:Muppet1976, whose only edits so far are to revert anyone who reverted the edits of the IP above. Happy to open an SPI if necessary, but I thought it might be easier to just drop you a quick note since the sockpuppetry seems pretty obvious.

Hey! Good to meet you I'm Cam. I did have a question come up today. I normally don't create new pages so this is a first for me, but I made sure on this to cite everything that I could - basically every paragraph is backed-up with evidence in other articles but someone still flagged the article as needing additional citations despite having 1-3 citations per section. What is it that people on this platform are looking for from citations?

I went through the Help:Maintenance template removal and I guess I struggled to understand it all

This is the article that I'm referring to that I created. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/515_Walnut_Tower --Usacameron998 (talk) 19:55, 24 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Don't worry about this turns out I'm an idiot - I forgot the actual links in the citations. That's why it got flagged. Working on getting that fixed. Usacameron998 (talk) 20:00, 24 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Hi, I've gone through several pages marked for "promoting the material in a subjective manner," and havent felt confident in most changes I've made or considering making. However, I feel that I did well with my edit on the Olaitan Salaudeen page, and wanted your feedback on it. Was my edit the kind of changes that those marked pages are looking for? Thank you https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Olaitan_Salaudeen --Pickpink (talk) 00:20, 25 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Hi @Pickpink. From a very cursory glance it looks like the edits you have made to these pages have made them somewhat less promotional, and removing some material and rewording the prose of the article to have it contain less puff words is a good thing to do. If you have any questions about how to edit certain topics or if there is a policy or guideline that Wikipedia has that you are unsure about, you can ask here on my talk page. Welcome to Wikipedia! Fathoms Below (talk) 00:24, 25 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]

How do I fix the "early Life section" regarding this page https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ruatara_(chief)

The article mixes up the Maori Chief "Ruatara" of Ngati Rangi and Te Roroa sub-tribes, and who died in 1915, with Ruatara Tauramoko, who died some time after 1901.

There is a photograph in the Auckland War Memorial Museum's Library of Ruatara Tauromoko at Rotorua, NZ. in 1901 attending the meeting of Maori with the Duke of York (later King Edawrd 8th who abdicated).

It is well documented that the Ruatara who knew Samuel Marsden, died in 1815. It is this Ruatara whose father was Kaparu. This is recorded in Professors Elder's book "Marsden's Lieutenants" as Marsden writing

page 22:

He is married to one of the daughters of a chief called Warrakee (Waraki) His wife’s name is Mike ….

page 23; Warrakee (Waraki), Houkee Cappee (Hoki-Kape) – these two are brother chiefs: Duaterra married the daughter of Warakee; Her name is Mike.

page 23 : Tippahee (Te Pahi), Caparoo (Kaparu), Tippepiphee (Te Pepehe), TiTuerra (Te Tuara) are four brothers, and three of them uncles to Duaterra, Caparoo being his father.

It is the second and later Ruatara Tauramoko whose mother was Tauramoko of Ngati Hineira sub-tribe.

The article is current factually incorrect, as is it's source which is https://teara.govt.nz/en/biographies/1r19/ruatara The NZ Government does not seem to wish to corrected this page despite being advised of the error (Colonialism at its worst !).

cheers. --Terence Lomax (talk) 03:39, 25 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]

The second round of the 2025 WikiCup ended on 28 April at 23:59 UTC. To reiterate what we said in the previous newsletter, we are no longer disqualifying contestants based on how many points (now known as round points) they received. Instead, the contestants with the highest round-point totals now receive tournament points at the end of each round. These tournament points are carried over between rounds, and can only be earned if a competitor is among the top 16 round-point scorers at the end of each round. This table shows all competitors who have received tournament points so far. Everyone who competed in round 2 will advance to round 3 unless they have withdrawn or been banned.

Round 2 was quite competitive. Four contestants scored more than 1,000 round points, and eight scored more than 500 points (including one who has withdrawn). The following competitors scored at least 800 points:

• BeanieFan11 (submissions) with 1,233 round points from 24 good articles, 28 Did you know articles, and one In the news nomination, mainly about athletes and politicians
• Thebiguglyalien (submissions) with 1,127 round points, almost entirely from two high-multiplier featured articles on Black Widow (Natasha Romanova) and Grace Coolidge, in addition to two GAs and two reviews
• History6042 (submissions) with 1,088 round points from four featured lists about Michelin-starred restaurants, nine good articles and a good topic mostly on Olympic-related subjects, seven ITN articles, and dozens of reviews
• Gog the Mild (submissions) with 1,085 round points from three FAs, one GA, and four DYKs on military history, as well as 18 reviews
• Arconning (submissions) with 887 round points, mostly from four FLs, six GAs, and seven DYKs on Olympic topics, along with more than two dozen reviews

In addition, we would like to recognize Generalissima (submissions) for her efforts; she scored 801 round points but withdrew before the end of the round.

The full scores for round 2 can be seen here. During this round, contestants have claimed 13 featured articles, 20 featured lists, 4 featured-topic articles, 138 good articles, 7 good-topic articles, and more than 100 Did You Know articles. In addition, competitors have worked on 19 In the News articles, and they have conducted nearly 300 reviews.

Remember that any content promoted after 28 April but before the start of Round 3 can be claimed in Round 3. Invitations for collaborative writing efforts or any other discussion of potentially interesting work is always welcome on the WikiCup talk page. Remember, if two or more WikiCup competitors have done significant work on an article, all can claim points. If you are concerned that your nomination—whether it is at good article candidates, a featured process, or anywhere else—will not receive the necessary reviews, please list it on Wikipedia:WikiCup/Reviews Needed.

I want a page I have mathematical logic equations that offer a new perspective and a deeper look at scientific knowledge at the same time giving science a fresh totally new perspective about the universe. The worst and most difficult challenges of how people today perceive "an expert" ,thanks to Terrance Howard who could tie his own shoes,the simple fact he has a voice is a set back in science. People everywhere think and believe that ,they,are the next Einstein. But ,should this make new perspectives grounded in science, Real science notable memes? I,can't stand the fools that give him the stage because of what it does to those who only want to contribute and what it means to be an actual AUTHORITY. But I have an Intrinsic hope that this circus shall pass and science can continue to make strides into the unknown once again. --Chandler Ayotte (talk) 03:55, 30 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Hi @Chandler Ayotte. Wikipedia cannot have an article on you or your mathematical theories unless they are covered by reliable sources in significant detail. Also, do please know that writing about yourself or your activities may mean that you have a conflict of interest and you are highly discouraged from writing an article about said activities. Please be sure to read this page about autobiographies and do know that Wikipedia is not a website for promoting yourself or your activities, and will only accept content written from a neutral point of view.

Hi! I work for a local government doing public services, and I noticed the section regarding some of our faculties is inaccurate per publicly available data. Do I need to disclose I work for the organization the page is about? I'm not being paid by them for this or anything :) --StellarOctoberSkies (talk) 23:30, 5 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Hi @StellarOctoberSkies and welcome to Wikipedia! Yes, since you work for the organization you are writing about, you should follow our conflict of interest guideline and look specifically at our disclosure instructions. You're generally advised to discuss your changes on the talk page of the article and let someone else review and publish them. The Edit Request Wizard might be able to help you draft out your proposed changes and the sources you have to back up your information. If you're uncertain about any of the "COI" guidelines or need some other help regarding Wikipedia, you can ask here. Thanks for reaching out! Fathoms Below (talk) 00:10, 6 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you! One last question, if I was to suggest an edit (for example, noting that a new rec center was recently opened, making the number of rec centers on the article 11, not 10) would it be appropriate to cite the official government website of the city, or would I need to find a newspaper article (or similar acceptable source) that listed the new center being opened? StellarOctoberSkies (talk) 00:57, 6 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]

@StellarOctoberSkies sorry for the semi-late reply! I had to step back for a few minutes. Usually Wikipedia articles rely on reliable secondary sources that are independent of the subject (no direct influence on the topic itself). So generally we would prefer a newspaper or other source independent of the rec center or local government. However, the government website for the city reporting on the rec center would probably be a primary, non-independent source which may be the best source available and we can still use it to a limited extent, though we should avoid basing the entire article itself on sources like that. Fathoms Below (talk) 01:45, 6 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]

No worries! I read through WP:COI, and I've additionally found reputable news sources that did report on the opening of the new rec center. I saw there was a template for suggesting changes as someone with a COI, so I will write something up using that and leave it in the talk section. Thanks for the help!

Hello --Syedzaidulhasan (talk) 15:40, 7 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Excuse me. Both of my edits on the Amda Seyon page are simply re-adding it's previous contents. If you look at it's history you will see various editors removed and added text that is not in line with previously sourced info. A lot of this is due to the War in Amhara and political issues in contemporary Ethiopia. I am a long time editor that has never had an account but maintains pages on this obscure part of the site via my phone. If my address is different it's because I moved residencies recently but I would be able to point you to a litany of page creations requested and edits made over the years. Thank you 2601:280:CE82:7070:9827:A94C:9AF4:9CA7 (talk) 21:07, 7 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Hi there. I saw that you removed material supported by citations and said that if you revert your edit that "you are engaging in historical revisionism" and that "the bias is obvious" which didn't seem to be an adequate reason to explain why you removed the content, since I or many other readers are unfamiliar with the subject, which is why I warned you. From reviewing the bottom thread on the talk page here there is a dispute on the content which you were changing (regarding the reliability of the chronicle), and I advise that you find a reliable source that verifies the content you changed and discuss on the talk page to avoid an edit war.

The article The Battle of Polytopia you nominated as a good article has passed ; see Talk:The Battle of Polytopia for comments about the article, and Talk:The Battle of Polytopia/GA1 for the nomination. Well done! If the article is eligible to appear in the "Did you know" section of the Main Page, you can nominate it within the next seven days.
